Imagine a man standing at the edge of a cliff and a demon is standing behind him wielding a bazooka firearm menacingly, with the intent to blow the man off the cliff, or simply just give him a kick from behind so that he would fall to his death. That in my estimation,(and l believe in the assessment of most Nigerians)is the dire situation in which our country and indeed our compatriots are currently trapped.
No matter, how government spin doctors try, they can no longer
pull-the-wool over-our-eyes with the false claim that since Boko Haram is no
more holding swathes of Nigeria’s territory in the north which was the case
before 2015,terrorism has not only been highly degraded, but it is in the
throes of death and technically defeated.
In my view, Boko Haram and ISWAP are no longer interested in holding territories where they could be engaged in conventional warfare with Nigerian army that has superior fire power with which it could be defeated in direct confrontations or conventional war.
